FIGURE 4.
Effect of HIGS of (A) msp-18 and (B) msp-20 genes on development and reproduction of M. incognita in eggplant. Absolute numbers of galls, egg masses, eggs/egg mass, and the corresponding multiplication factor (MF) of M. incognita in different T1 events (msp-18-specific: 18.4, 18.8, 18.3, 18.5, 18.6, and 18.7; msp-20-specific: 20.3, 20.4, 20.6, 20.7, 20.8, 20.9, 20.10, 20.1, 20.5, and 20.11) and WT plants at 30 dpi (days post inoculation). Each bar represents the mean ± SE of n = 6, and bars with different letters (within each parameter) denote a significant difference at P < 0.05, Tukey’s test. Number of triangle (Δ) indicates the number of gene copies in each event.
